Plaintiff was traveling along a town road and broadsided by a van as he crossed an intersection. The front of plaintiff’s vehicle struck the passenger side of the defendant’s van. Defendant driver was operating the van while in the course and scope of his employment, and his employer was named as a co-defendant. Following the collision, plaintiff suffered from neck pain, shoulder pain and headaches. Plaintiff was diagnosed with a cervical flexion injury and cervical strain and sprain, and then eventually thoracic outlet syndrome, which required surgeries and physical therapy. Plaintiff sued to recover costs for past and future pain and suffering as well as his economic losses. Plaintiff’s wife, as co-plaintiff, sought recovery for loss of consortium. A trial had been scheduled, but the parties settled in a mediated settlement.

When I was 22, I had just bought a new S-10 two weeks prior. Was leaving work heading to Ames to see the girlfriend.

Pumped up & excited, I was jamming tunes and looking down at the radio. I looked up & the traffic had stopped to wait for someone to take a left turn. I tried to stop but slammed into a car that ended up rear ending the turning van in front of them.

They tried to sue me for more than what my coverage was stating the female "could not perform sex while bending over".

I was shitting bricks. Over a year later I received confirmation that the case was thrown out of court because they found out she had registered for nursing school.
